The Police and Crime Bill, much debated, was an excuse for the professional unwashed to descend on the City and cause anarchy. The resentful youth of the country, eager for a cause, were out in force. Being reasonably local I was there too demanding the head of David Moyes.

Avon and Somerset Police were bemused. This is the force that stood by smiling as the statue of Edward Colston was pulled down last summer. The same force that on LGBT day encourages 15 stone hairy-arsed coppers to paint their nails in solidarity.

So the outrage. If that was the thanks they got.

But 7 arrests have already been made and CCTV images are looking for more scalliwags.

The Bristol courts will come down hard. Fines of up to a fiver. Online awareness courses as long as the miscreants don't feel threatened or humiliated. There's even rumblings in the air down here that there'll be bans from cake shops for a month.
Don't fack with Somerset and Avon Police!
